Never expected to see a slow motion cg shot in a Kar-Wai film.

:D :D :D

I really hope this is region free like some of their other blurays.

i really wish i could have seen Cronenberg's Fly opera

The tour version of Francis Ford Coppola's next film looks pretty radical. Val Kilmer even more so.

Saw Boxing Gym. Frederick Wiseman continues to be solidified in my eyes as the great american filmmaker. As a chronicler of institutions in the micro, he has no parallel, especially in consideration of the editing (dozens to hundreds of hours) he has to work on with each project along with the conscious choice of no expository or intervening elements common to the documentary.

On an aside, this is pretty awesome. Mac OS X only, though.

Godart

Breathless, Bands of Outsiders and Vivre Sa Vie are his most accessible works (as in someone not into a Maculin Feminin or Pierrot Le Fou could like them). I really like his later 60's to modern era films (sadly to many it's as if Godard retired/died after the 60's) but I'd imagine his detractors would view them as marxist tracts with contempt for narrative and audience (which is unfair and close minded, plus some of his 80's work such as Detective, Hail Mary, and the crazy King Lear are accessible by Godard standards).

Really excited that Terence Davies is releasing his first feature in over a decade. In my view he is the great living british filmmaker. Distant Voices, Still Lives & The Long Day Closes are outstanding works in a humanist tradition, and I couldn't recommend them enough. After The Turin Horse, there is no other film I'm anticipating as much this year.

Also, the sophomore film by Steve McQueen (not that Steve McQueen) has certainly piqued my interests. Hunger was a rather powerful (especially in regards to Fassbender's performance) and visually well composed film that handled its difficult subject in an objective manner (though I'd imagine it could be quite polarizing in form, particularly a 20 minute dialogue that ventured into Beckett-esque absurdism). McQueen's art pieces and installations before film are also rather fascinating. He'll be one to watch.

Abel Ferrara wants to make a Pier Paolo Pasolini biopic with Willem Dafoe.

Finally, a new film in the Soldier universe.

This is pretty devastating.

I would have counted Raul Ruiz as easily one of the top 10 contemporary filmmakers. His visual command, and elegant approach to the fractured and anarchic. is unparalleled.

I just saw his most recent work, Mysteries of Lisbon, back in March, and thought it was one of the best films I've seen in the past decade.

I would recommend Hypothesis of A Stolen Painting as a starting point, but my favorites are City of Pirates (one of the most visually arresting films ever) and The Blind Owl (a truly radical work as seen in this appreciation by the underrated Luc Moullet), both of which can be found on certain torrent sites.

No joke, I think this will be the only superhero movie that is worth a damn.

Fyi, I have discussed confusion between the guns n roses logo and ed hardy, and how jonah hex sucked with neveldine and taylor via email.

Dracks, see this and tell me if it's good.

[Winona Ghost Ryder]

Yeah, this is just two people dancing in fuzzy light.

My most anticipated film after The Turin Horse.

Cronenberg would make an awesome professor.

Dracks, I'm still waiting on the Kill List report.

[Winona Ghost Ryder]

DAFOE!

If the movie is loyal to the book, then Sam Neil is gonna get only 5 minutes of screen time.

[Winona Ghost Ryder]

Also, half of it would be Dafoe building traps and smothering himself with his own supply of dried wallaby feces (just add water).

[Winona Ghost Ryder]

I wish Fincher did Masters of Doom instead of The Social Network. You'd still get a Reznor soundtrack.

Who would play John Romero?

[Winona Ghost Ryder]

I'm looking forward to the Cronenberg love story where the rival boyfriend is a literal black hole.

The Turin Horse is probably the windiest movie of all time.

McQueen and Fassbender really are BFF's. The source material sounds very interesting.

[Winona Ghost Ryder]

i audibly gasped when i saw pasolini's the gospel according to st matthew playing on tbn

of course the content of the film (surprisingly) was not offensive or sacrilegious (as Pasolini said he made it with a nostalgia for belief), but still, IT WAS PASOLINI, THE MARXIST ATHEIST HOMOSEXUAL, ON TBN!
